I think the reason a lot of leftists struggle with disability justice is that they haven't moved past the concept that discrimination isn't bad because it's objectively "wrong." yes, sexists are objectively wrong when they try to claim women are dumber than men. yes, antisemites are objectively wrong that jewish people are inherently greedy and run the state. yes, racists are wrong when they try to claim that white people are the superior race. and so on.

but then with disabled people, there are a lot of objective truths to the discrimination we face. people with IDs/LDs do fall behind and struggle with certain concepts. physically disabled people are often weaker and less capable of performing demanding tasks than able bodied people. many of us with mental illnesses are more reckless and less responsible. a lot of us are dependent on others and do not contribute much "worth".

and guess what? disabled people still deserve a place in the world. disabled people still deserve the supports they need. because they are people, and that should be enough to support them and believe they deserve a place at the table.

if your only rebuttal against discrimination is its objective inaccuracies, you are meeting bigots where they are at. you are validating the very concept that if and when people are truly incapable of being equal to the majority, that means they are worth less. this causes some leftists to then try to deny the objective realities of disabled people and/or become ableist themselves.

your rallying behind marginalized groups should start and end with the fact that people are completely worthy of life and equity, because they are fellow human beings and that should, frankly, be enough.

#human life is sacred and valuable no matter the so called worth they carry #every person adds to the whole #my dementia patients add to the whole #my schizophrenic patients add to the whole #my quadriplegic patients add to the whole #because they exist and have innate worth #life is sacred

It is very important to me that, because of the differences in life expectancy between the Lau and Ugaro peoples, Aras and Ryo have roughly the same number of years left to live. The gods looked at this Lau man struggling under his curse and said We will send him someone to help him who will be with him the rest of his life. They didn’t leave him alone.

Just got back from the Pride and Prejudice birthday party I threw for turning 27. Rented a local theater, brought some cupcakes and cookies, and told people to dress up and guys - just make the spaces you want to exist in. Don’t wait for someone else to do it. That was so much fun and it wouldn’t have existed if I left the work of creation to other people.

#I am emotional about communities tonight #and how people together make up their little community homes #it takes work! it takes initiative! #it takes a fair amount of joking about doing the thing and then finally just doing the same thing #I’m exhausted and way too hyper to sleep haha

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

#amazing #and yes #autobiographical art is great and all but also #there’s other ways to create

Ugh, was having a great time mocking my recently imprisoned rival when I noticed the camera positioning makes it so that I appear behind the bars, thus framing me as trapped in a metaphorical prison of the narrative, now my whole day is ruined. Fuck.
